Description Because. There are lots and lots of awesome characters in Bleach who are filled with badassness, and I give them all due love in their turn (EXCEPT GIN. GIN IS CREEPY. ALSO KUROTSUCHI), but - Hanatarou is my baby and I want to snuggle him and cuddle him and love him forever and ever and EVER HE IS THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WHOLE SERIES I SWEAR.

...... so I make fanart. In a sickeningly obsessive way.

Besides, from the complaints I hear from other artists about how difficult it is to draw Bleach fanart, Hanatarou must be the easiest thing to draw EVER because I didn't have any real problems, except for hands, which don't count because hands are ALWAYS evil. So I guess I lucked out there.

Background is kind of eh. At least there IS one. XD *so bad with the backgrounds!*

EDIT: I almost forgot about the brushes what is WRONG with me?! Mostly brushes from *asunder and ~trulysarah , I believe, and I can't remember exactly where any others came from.

Hanatarou and all other Bleachthingies © Kubo Tite, who judging from chapters 168 and up is COMPLETELY ON CRACK DUDE WTF.
Artness © me, gasp shock

He looks so happy and adorable. I'm totally loving the soft colours and the line-shading.

Aww this is so cute XDDDD

I like how this is almost like a sepia tone? (and after I read description, it's "bleached." Oh well :3 )

That's a really cool butterfly. :3 I like its design. Everything also looks like it's moving with the wind. The sky was stroked the same way the grass moves, the same with the direction of the butterfly. All this subtle stuff really helped!

Aww... that kid is so cute. *hugz*

Awesome job. I fav. <3

I don't think I know this character yet either... followed Bleach for a while, then just kind of... didn't, anymore. Lost interest at some point. But this is a very cute drawing nonetheless. ^^ He looks so happy, following the butterfly. And you really drew the yukata (or kimono?) nicely... :3 Waaaah! So cute! *just huggles it*

It's very beautiful Neech. I love your artwork very much. To tell you the truth, the hands didn't turn out half bad. At least the fingers are identifiable from each other.

I've never read Bleach... but if it's so crack-inspired and crazed, I think I most certainly will ;D

Looks like I need to check out the series for myself. The drawing is really nice. The colors work perfectly well and the lines... I love how you use lines in your drawings.

And I agree. Hands are indeed evil.

azraelengel [2005-07-06 17:02:40 +0000 UTC]

Ooh. Looks like a stylistic change I see here. A very good one too. I like the way you've drawn the face in here, and the amount of textures you put in the background. I definitely like the the background's movement.

Good color scheme choice too. Looking excellent.

Super nice lines - brown is a good color for them too, it makes the picture seem more warm & happy. Oh yeah, since you like Hanatarou so much (me too! >w< you should like this site: [link] (if you haven't seen it already~)

EXCEPT GIN. GIN IS CREEPY.
Gin is my favorite TT^TT;;

FrozenIsh [2005-07-06 05:44:32 +0000 UTC]

So adorable.

I love how you color things. The background feels almost impressionistic in a way. I love how the colors blend and fluctuate. I just love that butterfly, too. And the scratchy lines on the kimono contrast with the flowing lines in the background. Zomfg, I love it. The border just completes it, too.

Kimotos are always wonderful because they drape nicely over the handsand give some flexibility to how much you want to draw. Anyway nicely done background I can almost see it moving as he races along the flowerbeds! O.O That butterfly seems extra fragile too and I just absolutely ADORE this pic! *squeezes you*

failefalcon [2005-07-06 03:32:46 +0000 UTC]

You really should do more backgrounds because you do niiiiiice backgrounds when you do them. I like your lines when you do them like that. So whispy and pretty.
